Résumé
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of applying enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. Methods: Data of 36 patients undergoing laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy from May 2016 to May 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were reviewed. The patients were divided into ERAS group (n=12) and control group (n=24). The patients in ERAS group received a series of enhanced recovery procedures, including multimodal analgesia, early off-bed activity and early oral food-taking, etc. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, time to first flatus, postoperative complications, and length of postoperative hospital stay were evaluated. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between ERAS group and control group (all P0.05). The time to first flatus and length of postoperative hospital stay were significantly shortened in ERAS group (all PP0.05). Conclusion: The ERAS protocol for laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy can significantly promote gastrointestinal function recovery and shorten postoperative hospital stay, and may reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
